Thanks and an explanation

Yesterday wasn’t a bad food day. It was just a bad day. Work was crappy. Really Really Reallly crappy Crappy enough that one of my friends and I were planning our Friday Happy Hour at 8 am. And were ready to go. We were plotting on who would drive, where, when, what we would be drinking. The kicker….neither of us drink. We just were so angry and annoyed and can’t afford to quit. Meanwhile, by 2, we were planning on when we could quit and where we would go work. Food wise, all was good. When I’m that pissed off , I don’t eat. Which is bad and not healthy, but since I had no food in the house and would have ended up eating crap from the vending machine, not bad. Ok, I did have some nuts which staved off starvation, but better then the fritos in the machine. I know, not eating isn’t heathly. I made up for it. I ended up going to my sisters and seeing my niece. A beautiful 15 month old who makes everything go away. We went out for dinner. Hummus with pita bread and a shrimp dish for appitizer. Which was good and very filling. Guess who loves Hummus. the 15 month old. Pasta with garlic and escarole for the meal. Which I ate two bites of and wrapped up to go. I was so full from the hummus and shrimp. My sister had Mousaka (sp?) with escarole and rice on the side. Guess who loves escarole. The 15 month old. My sisters escarole wasn’t garlicy so the baby could eat it. She was great. Drinking water from a glass, I think it felt good on her teeth(ing) and only tried to grap the escarole off the plate 3x before we put it in front of her. What a kid. Love her and puts the reality back in check.

Thanks to all who commented earlier. This site is great. Everyone is so supportive. Keep it up.

Isn’t it amazing how a little one can make you forget about life’s troubles?! I’m glad you had a great time with your sister and neice. Hopefully next week will be a better for you at work.

Those little ones can always give us perspective, can’t they? They also will pretty much eat anything. Once. Then when they get a little older, they get pre-conceived notions about food. Then when they get a lot older, they end up like us. :lol: Don’t you wish we could stay little?!

Those “bad days” can play havoc with your resolve, but it sounds like you had a very good outing and made some good choices, in spite of the crappy day. :) There’s nothing like a little girl’s smile to ease any tension.

I am glad you ended on a good note. Kids put things into perspective.

I would have gone for the drinks and the chips ;)

That’s the good thing about life - there is usually a tomorrow to pick up where you left off and try again. :)
